Chuck Palahniuk's Men's Health Article: 'Live Like You're Dying'

One of the best things that happens when Chuck gets close to releasing a new novel (besides the book tour, obviously), is that the journalist in him re-awakens. This usually leads to a slew of articles and interviews he'll do for magazines such as Maxim, Playboy, BlackBook, Esquire and more. You might remember that these articles were all captured in his 2004 collection Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories.

Well, Chuck hasn't stopped. Since then, he's continued to pump out more (many of which, you can find databased in our evolving Bibliography section).

His latest article is a landmark. It's for the most recent issue of Men's Health, and I truly believe this is one of the finest pieces of non-fiction Chuck has ever written. It's sort of a self-help article on people thinking about suicide. But that's all I'll say. Read it and then discuss it here after. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

ps- and the article was dope. i remember a time when i used to collect and bind all of his interviews and articles, and then he bound stranger than fiction and i stopped. it was easier to buy the book. and this one is one of the better ones ive read. even beat out his interview with marilyn manson

Men's are not taking care of their health. As they always eat the unhealthy food and also ratio of smoking are also increased. I seen that Many people dyed due to that only. So i suggest that take the power yoga and you must do the sex with your partner with the help of soft cialis pill.

Hi, great talk. Chuck has great style, noone doubts. And also gave my BF his article 'Live Like You're Dying' (he is a bit deppressive kind of person, sometimes you don't know what to expect from him).Apart from Chuck's articles I often use to read new interviews with him at http://www.pdfok.com/chuck-palahniuk/www.goldenrule.com . Might be useful for other readers.

His articles on pdofk are fantastic, but I still can't believe he would give a douchy rag like Maxim or Men's Health the time of day... he must have a really convincing PR guy.

I just made a custom album cover for the Fight Club Soundtrack (check out the attachment) and feel free to use it!

I had a friend that committed suicide a few years back.. if only he did some of these things before actually going through with his suicide.. i guess this was published one year too late.. he died at the end of 2007.

every once in a while i'll think.. if only he stayed alive and i could have shared "insert whatever here" he sure would have loved "whatever".. then i think.. heck "whatever" is something that keeps me going... maybe it could have kept him going too.. but.. oh well.. too bad.. so sad.. whatever..

only thing is.. he's not Kurt Cobain, but I remember him each and every day all the same.. actually i think of him and kurt as one in the same.. they both died wearing converse all-stars after all.. if you are a depressed person & you wear converse all-stars you will eventually kill yourself.. something about those sneakers screams suicide..

i am now older than this friend who killed himself... its weird outliving someone older than you that you looked up to.. but oh well.. too bad.. so sad.. whatever..
